Because it’s still an issue. Dev alludes to a fix, but the update pop up still persists. Seems like it’s either low priority or working as intended.

Sublime still works pretty well. It's very fast. I've tried VS Code and ended up going back to Sublime. That's a personal preference though, and I can totally understand using VS Code instead.

Sublime is still miles ahead of VS Code. Text editors are definitely a business model, I’ve yet to find a better alternative to Sublime and it is a critical piece of software for my workflow.
